    I got the axle under it today, there was a busted brake line I had to fix too. So now it is back to setting on 4 wheels. I still need to fill the diff with fluid and bleed the brakes.

    Mike came in and help me this weekend. We got a lot done on the klog. I finished putting the 9" rear back in, it now has 3.55's instead of the 3.00's. Had to put some new brake lines on. I put new u-joints in too. Mike, The unofficial god of all things TTB, took apart the front axle. I finished the rear just in time to see him grinding the heads off the bolts that held the TTB differential in. The bolts were so rusted a socket would not grab them, I knew I should have bought a metrinch!
    One of the bolts we hammered a metric socket on and then used about 2 feet of extensions and a pipe to try to get loose. The result was the bolt snapping and the pipe flying back at Mike knocking him square in the eye. He went down faster than a girl in pharmeceutical sales. He laid on the ground for about 5 minutes in the fetal position, while I kept asking hm if he was ok. Luckily he still had another eye and was able to continue working. Seriously though there is a clear straight bruise on his face from where the pipe tagged him.
    Got the 3.55's in and discovered my front drive shaft sucks, it is all ragged out, so I will need a new one of those. We took it for a test drive and discovered the carb was jacked up from months of no use, so Mike called upon the Ford gods and we rebuilt it. It runs like a champ, it will spin the 38's if you power brake it enough.....
    We also removed the front bumper and started work on a box frame winch mount combo.
    Should be all ready for Clayton. I guess the Ford works in mysterious ways.

    Oh, I would also like to add that surprisingly JB Weld was not used at all during the entire weekend.

    Got some shat done today, I fixed the F250's brakes (turned rotors and new pads, the biggest challenge was convincing the idiots at O'reilly's that they could turn the rotors) I also changed the oil.

    Figured out what was wrong with my brake controller, the dumba$$ who had the truck before me wired the brake wire into the center pin on the trailer connector (this is supposed to be for 12 volt supply to the trailer) fixed that and mounted the controller up, works like a champ

    I also cut the winch off my trailer, now I need to weld it to my square tube I will use for a reciever hitch. Probably do that tomorrow, as it is getting dark and cold and I have some night life to go see in Beaumont tonight. I am also going to weld the above front box/bumper in tomorrow.

    Then it should be ready, except for the front drive shaft. I ordered a good used one from ebay, but it has not come in. If not I will just run the one it has, though it will make some noise. Oh I might also look at mounting the suburban seat.

    I think Mike is trying to be funny again. He is implying that my co-workers wrote that crap on the truck.... but what really happened is Louis's brother Jose wrote that on there. I might add the felatio portrait was quite good, I think he might have some experience with that up close, if you know what I mean.... Mike is just jealous, you see no one will right things like that on his EB. It's just implied if you own an EB you are obviously homo gay.

    Karl has alot of pics to post on this. The pictures will explain alot.

    This weekend we took the cab off and put the crew cab on. I did some kustom body slamming on this truck to make the body sit lower on the frame. It looks pretty sweet.

    We also have a 302 FI motor to go in place. If karl would buy my dana 60 from me it would be pimp.

    The name has changed
